We use a parameter called "beta" to describe the behavior of a MOSFET.  The default value is small (20m), which is appropriate for a signal MOSFET.  To simulate
a power MOSFET, use a larger value like 80.
<p>
This worksheet will calculate the value of beta for a particular MOSFET, given Rds(on).

   // don't think we need this but you never know
   if (x.match(/u$/)) {
       x = x.replace(/u$/, "");
       return 1e-6 * x;
   }
   
   return x;
